Voice Restoration
I have no medical training and will not accept any responsibility for the diagnosis etc. of vocal physiological pathologies. Students who suspect some physical problem with their larynx etc. should consult an ENT specialist, eg Dr Terry McManus, 10 McCourt Street, West Leederville, WA, and/or a qualified Speech Pathologist (Therapist), eg Thea Peterson (08 9383 1119), Ros Barnes (08 9336 2220), or Helen Bolton (08) 9301 1154).
Thea, Ros and Helen often deal with serious cases, but can also be recommended to people with less serious voice problems which, when remedied, may produce a dramatic improvement in singing and/or speech.
Here's an email I received from Thea in January 2011 with her new work details:
"Hi Margaret. I thought that you would like to know that I have sold my office in McCourt St and now work in the afternoons from my home based office. The details are on my website www.voicecarewa.com. Terry McManus is in the process of retiring. His colleague Mr Geoffry Hee is working from his old office and uses the videostroboscopy unit. We still run a low key voice clinic on a needs basis. All of the best for 2011. Regards, Thea."
